2016 Wk 2 Semi - Raiders 22-12 Panthers @ GIO Stadium

Rumour that Moylan is out

Nice joke.

 

[Pete Cash]

Ya gotta be more confident than that!!!

Last week you had the loss you had to have, lucky it wasn't a knockout game.

I never think we are going to win lmao. Years of conditioning into a bad case of loseritis

Mole is spreading a rumour that Blake is out. He's wrong more often than not. But it would be a huge loss if he was.

Hardaker would get 80 minutes if he was.

Pretty much this.

 

[Raider Azz]

Yep, seems like a whole load of bullshit to me.

Hodgson didn't even train Wednesday night.

He trained today and there are photos on the Raiders Facebook page of him running without any strapping on his ankle. He's playing.

You sound like a pair of sharks supporters

 

[Raider Azz]

Date stamped of course.

I mean you can choose to not believe it if you want, but fact is he's playing. How he actually goes we won't know until tomorrow night.

1st - Storm - Prelim
2nd - Raiders -
3rd - Sharks - Prelim
4th - Cowboys - Prelim

6th - Penrith -

3 out of the top 4 are through to the GF Qualifier, can Penrith break the trend?

Hard to picker a winner here .. just hope for a cracking game. I can't see either of yas getting past the Storm next week anyway but it's been a great year for both clubs.

Raiders can beat the Storm, I really hope the Raiders don't go out in straight sets.

I think it will be very hard for either team to win as the week off is a big advantage for Melbourne. If we progress through I don't think we can beat Melbourne unless our defence is very good but I think we can keep it close. If Canberra make it through they could beat Melbourne but I could also very easily see them beaten by 20.

i really hope one of these sides can beat melbourne next weekend

I don't think any side stands much a chance in the GF if Melbourne progress through so it would make it very interesting. The sharks would certainly make it a grind but i can still see the storm owning the GF quite easily otherwise

No one is under illusions that the winner of this faces a monumental task in Melbourne.

We've already achieved par or possibly above par for the season by making week 2 of the semi finals. I would not be too unhappy if we go out in Canberra but obviously want them to give it their best shot either way. Making week 3 against Melbourne I feel is probably overachieving, while making a GF or winning it we'd be a couple of years ahead of schedule, considering how young the team is.

A sizeable win tonight for either side would go a long way next week in terms of confidence
